 If all sysops had let go of the past and moved on to modern flasing
technology, there would not have been any Fidonet to return to.

 Apparently the current Fidonet can survive as it is. Turning Fidonet into
 an Othernet along views by those who have missed 10-20-30 of its history,
 is not the solution to its future.
